Africa Kills Her Sun in Ken Saro-Wiwa short story So far the greatest short story i've ever read Where the blackest pen lives With the blackest ink with the darkest hue Yet the blackest truth out there even to this day Of the oppression, dictatorship, killings, fear, corruption and discrimination A call for freedom Africa still living in the shadows of colonialism But Africa took an initiative, a positive compass Mary Muthoni Nyanjiru, an unsung hero Shot dead during the colonial era for her fight against colonialism Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to win the Nobel peace prize She planted one tree at a time, a voice for the environment, a fighter for women rights Charity Kaluki Ngilu has played many roles in politics One of the first kenyan female presidential candidates I still remember the 1997 elections Pamela Jelimo and Catherine Ndereba Through their marathons, they have paved many seas I remember those cross country days back in primary school, it was tough I applaud you girls Grace Ogot, East African best known woman author The mother of Kenyan literature Her words had power, and her actions showed it Captain Irene Koki Mutungi, the first African female dreamliner captain Flying higher and higher, more girls dreaming higher and higher Kakenya Ntaiya, among the top 10 CNN heroes of 2013 I've listened to your Ted Talk of "a girl who demanded education" About how at the age 12 you made a deal with your dad to undergo female circumcision if he would let you go to highschool And that happened, you even went to college And then came back and founded a school for young girls Lupita Nyong'o, it was hard to watch "12 Years a Slave" Because truth brings out a lot of anger, but at the same time it has to be told The first Kenyan actress to win an Academy Award. It nice to see you in magazines but it feels even more nice to know that there is a girl out there in some village Who now believes it's possible because of you Africa saved her daughter, and by doing so It saved all Sources > coming soon:-)
